Stylish Bottomwear for 40-degree Heat

1. Cotton Trousers

Cotton Trousers

In Summer, trousers might seem like a risky fashion choice but hear us out! Fabric is the key that can make or break the fit. Opt for breathable cotton trousers in pastel shades. Avoid anything too tight or synthetic because comfort > cling. Look for flowy cuts that move with the breeze and don’t cling where they shouldn't.

Style Tip: A pair of light beige or white cotton trousers styled with a breathable linen shirt is a timeless and work-appropriate look. Roll up the cuffs for instant off-duty style.


2. Palazzos

Palazzos

With breezy cuts, luxe feel and major comfort points, Go Colors' palazzos can be your personal air-conditioning system. If you’re working in sub-zero temps (a.k.a. the office AC) slip into a tucked-in blouse, a sleeveless top, or even a blazer.

Bonus: These palazzos can give instant boss energy without the heat-induced breakdown.


3. Culottes

Culottes

Culottes are the fashion sweet spot between breezy and bossy and way more comfy than anything else in your wardrobe. They are the ideal in-betweeners tailored enough to mean business and chill enough to cancel meetings.

Culottes are made for:

  • Moving around with ease

  • Ideal for power lunches and client calls

  • Sharp looks, zero discomfort


4. Harem Pants

Harem Pants

Breezy, roomy, and ridiculously comfortable, harem pants are your hot-weather hero. Whether you plan to style it with a button-down or a solid top, either way, it’s ‘creative, not casual’ all the way. Grab your workwear for hot weather now and stay cool while you hustle.

Translation: You can crush deadlines and still feel like you’re on vacation.


5. Cotton Leggings

Cotton Leggings

On the days when your brain's on pause, cotton leggings are the 'don’t think, just wear' choice. Soft, breathable, and stretch-friendly, our cotton leggings make tunics, long shirts, and kurtas click perfectly. Throw on some flats, and you're good to go!

Hot tip: Skip the synthetics. Your skin will thank you.


Style Survival Tips for 40°C Work Days:

  • Fabrics first: Breathable fabrics only, please. Cotton, linen, viscose in, polyester out.

  • Light colours win: White, pastels, and neutrals are the perfect shades for keeping cool and looking chic.

  • Keep it flowy: The looser the fit, the breezier the feel.

  • Stay practical: Choose styles that move with you and have pockets, comfort is everything.
